Coventry City have been hit by more injuries ahead of tonight's Highfield Road clash with playoff candidates Millwall.

Coventry City have been hit by more injuries ahead of tonight's Highfield Road clash with playoff candidates Millwall.

But although the Sky Blues have virtually written off their own chances of promotion, manager Roland Nilsson is determined his players will wrap up their home campaign on a high (7.45pm).

Youssef Safri and Marcus Hall are the latest to join the list of casualties but Lee Mills is expected to make a return to the side, while Laurent Delorge and Marc Edworthy are back into contention after coming through a second reserve game following lengthy injury spells.

"Lee looked a bit rusty in his first game back with the reserves so we will see how he looks in training before we decide," said Nilsson, who is reluctantly considering playing himself because of the shortage in defensive personnel.

"But we have certainly missed his defensive skills at set-pieces as well as having a target man to connect with Lee Hughes. For some reason they seem to click much better together than Jay Bothroyd and Hughesy, so we could do with him."

Gary Breen is ruled out by an ongoing hamstring problem while Mo Konjic was undergoing a late fitness test today to see if he could shake off a calf injury.

Hall's season, meanwhile, looks to be over after the fullback twisted his left knee in training. And Julian Joachim's nightmare campaign continued when he picked up a ham-string injury on the training field, effectively ruling him out for the last two games.

On a more positive note, player of the year David Thompson is fit to start what will be his last game for the Sky Blues this season - both he and Safri are suspended for next week's trip to Burnley.

And despite the odds being stacked against Coventry to make the play-offs, Nilsson says they are going to give it one last shot in tonight's match.

"With Birmingham winning their game this week it makes it very, very difficult for us to do anything, but we are determined to put on a good show for our fans," he said.

"We are treating it like any other game and we want to win. We will see what happens but if we are definitely out of it by the time we play Burnley, we will be starting to look at next season."

Supporters are requested by the club to stay off the pitch at the end of the game.
